[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-6116) Would be very nice if JBoss Tools would download and install JBoss AS into a local directory so that manual configuration can be avoided.

Lincoln Baxter III commented on JBIDE-6116:
-------------------------------------------

Yes, perhaps the user's home-directory/jbossas-version would be a more appropriate installation default. That's what GlassFish does, actually.

> When using the GlassFish eclipse plug-in, if the Server Runtime is not currently installed or configured, the plug-in will give you a chance to configure the Runtime, or click a button/link to have the plugin go out to the internet, download, and configure the application server for you.
> I think it would be great for new users/usability if JBoss Tools could provide a similar convenience.
> The latest plugin-compatible version of the AS should probably be the target of the download.
